It also offers great access to the South West coast path from the beach. If you need to relax after a busy year, a stay here will leave you refreshed and full of healthy Cornish seaside air, so maybe it does have some of the power of its namesake.
Carbis Bay, a little seaside village near St Ives, is well-known for its stunning stretch of sugar-white sand beach.. For an old-fashioned beach day, the beach has turquoise waves and sheltered circumstances that make it feel like you're in a subtropical location. Ocean Sports Centre is located on beach, so if sunbathing isn't your thing, why not rent a kayak or stand-up paddleboard and get out on the ocean instead?
The boutique hotel next door, which has a lovely patio where you can sip cocktails while taking in the view of the beach, offers spa days as an alternative. Small local businesses and eateries, such as Carbis Bay's fish & chip store and railroad branch, may be found in the seaside village. It's hard to imagine a more picturesque way to go to St. Ives from Carbis Bay than by rail.

There are only 2 items we would address. 1. The double bed ideally needs to have its legs under the bed rather than projecting, both my wife and I would regularly hit our toes and shins on the wooden bed frame. 2. Replace all bulbs in ceiling lights with LED's, as a taller person, I could feel the heat from non LED bulbs. Otherwise the accommodation was just perfect and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Very comfortable. Toys, books etc were a really nice touch. To even have a PlayStation 4 and games etc is great for older kids however, maybe include a few smaller kids games. Thought the wetsuits, bodyboards, buckets and spades etc that you could use was a fantastic idea. We had a lovely holiday thank you.
